About Fang

Fang Liu is a PACFA-registered clinical counsellor with five years' professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, anger and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and aim to address practical problems people bring to therapy.

She uses client-centred and emotionally-focused ways of working alongside attachment and cognitive behaviour approaches. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, while also noticing patterns in feelings, thoughts and relationships. Fang pays attention to attachment and separation issues that often sit behind anger, emptiness or repeated relationship conflict.

In sessions she talks through immediate coping strategies for mood, sleep and impulse control. She also helps people map longer-term patterns such as avoidance, dissociation or family-of-origin repetitions. For those with addiction or complex trauma history, the focus can include safety planning and stabilising routines before deeper work.

Fang has particular experience supporting people with ADHD, autism traits, bipolar presentations and first responder pressures. She also helps people dealing with grief, career stress and compassion fatigue. Her work includes addressing communication breakdowns and problems that follow divorce or blended family dynamics.

Practical steps are a feature of her approach. People can expect clear goals, regular review of progress and conversational therapy that links feelings to day-to-day choices. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How attachment, emotion work and CBT translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses. It helps when anger links to fear of abandonment, trust issues or repeating family-of-origin cycles. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person’s experience and priorities, encouraging honest reflection and practical problem solving. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviours that keep anger and anxiety active, offering concrete tools for managing triggers and sleep problems.

Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Fang will collaborate with the client to test what helps most, adjusting methods as goals and circumstances change. This is a practical process that balances short-term coping with exploring the deeper patterns that sit behind repeated anger or relationship strain.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins and allowing workday appointments. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working on communication, routine, sleep and coping strategies.
